Dear CSICOP List Reader, Following is information on how you can help celebrate the anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin. For more information contact: Program Director Amanda Chesworth at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Next month will mark the 192nd anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth. For over a decade now, several groups throughout the US have been holding events of one kind or another to celebrate. Recently a Darwin Day program was developed to provide a central location for these efforts and to take the celebrations to national, if not international levels. The by-line for the program is an International Celebration of Science and Humanity. The main focus of the program will be the promotion of science rather than the defense of evolution against creationism. Several exciting projects have begun, including a membership club entitled Darwin's Bulldogs, in recognition of Thomas Henry Huxley and several contests with great prizes. Another exciting project is to organize a huge celebration at Down House for the year 2009 - the bicentennial of Darwin's birth. Program Directors are already in touch with Richard Dawkins and the Charles Darwin Trust Fund to make this happen. A line of merchandise is being produced and you can email Program Director Amanda Chesworth at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to get your free postcard, professionally designed by Dave Feroe. Also use this email to request more information about the Darwin Day Program. The website is being updated regularly with a variety of resources, information and worthwhile projects.
